The Devils dabble their paintbrushes of wonderment in what could be "Tribal ambient" esque textures. And space is formidable. Clarion 89 versh.

Deep stormy spirals, this one has that chaotically unhinged mid-80's sound in spades. Disney villain jort shorts yelp production number tenacity with sleazy menthol and a double johnnie walker clouds of hazy passion.

slinky but it gets the job done. Mall of america levels of emphatic sheen on this mothership two-keyboard set

Ah the welnik years... edge of the cliff still lifes. Cruising altitude of street corner smokin. Surahs of glintingly salted wound fractures of unselved memory so as to be taken from recitation of the Qu'ran. Or was it just a folk musician from the bay area who broke on through? Hornsby woodshedding on this one puts the whole cast up to new stories, transcendence and Enya meets Shania Twain plinky plonky take this one to type 2. Just as nice as 6/17/91 or 6/11/93, restored to a glorious utopian stillness of icy arrhythmias or was it just a robin's tone widening and diminishing. Raise it up for a fun injection of pastoral hobbit jumpies
